Welcome Home Brother!



Many of you know that my brother-in-law, Jake, has been serving our country abroad for the past 5 or 6 months. Well, he came home the other day! Praise the Lord. What is even more unique about his homecoming is that he got to see his 4 month old baby, McCall, for the first time. He was able to be there the day she was born, but this was the first time he has seen her since then.

My sister hired a videographer who captured the "fly-in" when Jake flew home. Jake is the pilot who is flying the first airplane in the video (he is the Commander) and is leading the pack.

This video made me cry my eyes out when I saw it. It makes me so proud to say that my brother serves our country and fights for our freedom!

Welcome Home Jake! We love you and missed you so much!

Incredible Friends and the Hill Country Vineyards

Rachael and me at Luckenbach! Our first time there!


A couple weekends ago, Max and I drove down to Boerne to see our dear friends Rachael and J. We were there for only about 24 hours but it was the most enriching 24 hours we have had in a while. Rachael recently had baby Trip, who is absolutely precious. This was the first time I got to see Trip and he was such a great baby. We took him with us on Saturday to the vineyards - and what a trooper!
Saturday night, Max, J, Rachael, Trip and I went to Luckenbach, Texas. It was some incredible people watching and a great time had by all!

Rach and J - We miss you so much and wish you lived closer. We hope to come again sometime during the holidays! Thank you for having us!
